If there’s one thing Amazon Prime Video have proven they can do well, it’s produce a violent and bloody series about superheroes – bordering on the uncomfortable – breaking the mould of all the polished, idealistic, and family-friendly Marvel joints that dominate the modern culture. Currently, The Boys is fast-becoming its own independent screen universe with a confirmed spin-off series, aftershow, etc. And on the animated front, it’ll soon be joined by Invincible, co-created by Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) and starring Steven Yuen (also The Walking Dead), which has just dropped a very promising first trailer.

Based on the cult hit Skybound/Image comic of the same name developed by Kirman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, Invincible follows 17-year-old Mark Grayson (portrayed by Steven Yuen), who is the son of the world’s most powerful superhero, Omni-Man (portrayed by JK Simmons). Inheriting his father’s abilities – super strength, flight, invulnerability, etc. – on face value, it appears to be another vanilla coming-of-age tale with a flavour-of-the-month hook. That is… until the plot twist is revealed.

Without spoiling what’s ahead – and I personally urge you not to investigate any further online – as hinted in the trailer, Mark discovers daddy dearest’s legacy isn’t all that it seems. As you’ll discover, this isn’t a series about clean-cut cape crusading, championing justice and afterschool morality, nor anything audiences have come to expect from a superhero outside of Amazon’s catalgoue. In terms of the character scale, Omni-Man certainly leans more towards the Homelander end of the spectrum as opposed to Clark Kent / Superman.
